From what adamsapple said above, I think it's triggered if it's a pirate ship. That's what happened to me trying to get back into the Settle Systems with one.

Can you sell ships?
ArtHands
Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
I will definitely try it but trying to do more main quests atm

Hail and talk to civilian ships when near big planets. They will often tell you about quest markers or new activity locations that can lead to new quests.
Additionally, you can also trade with them.

Bro, this would of saved my arse. I needed to repair my ship and all my ship parts were on my person. I was saying to myself surely you can access your cargo or atleast walk around. (Just thinking about it now, I may have overlooked that you can access your ship via the inventory system menu?.)

Need to register it and then sell (delete) in the ship builder. It will give you a credit on the top right in red. There is also another port that specialises ships that arent necessarily yours.

Thank you, sorry to ask but I was wondering if you could add the specialized port's name in a spoiler tag.

No worries. If you do not want to sell it off piece meal and build a new ship while keeping other parts off of it, like I did. You can just sell the ship itself. There shoild be a prompt when talking to a technician.
I believe its in the red mile, you can also sell contraband to a merchant there.

On a planet I was missing one resource, I found it only in caves, explore POIs to find caves.
Also, some animals can be aquatic and you need to find a "(coast)" biome on the map (if the planet has for example a "Swamp" biome, it may have a "Swamp (coast)" biome), then walk to the water and scan fishes.
You can access and transfer stuff from your ship to yourself (and the other way) by going in the ship menu, then press X to access the ship's cargo.
Then you can transfert stuff and go in your inventory with LB.
On planets it also works, up to 300m from the ship.
You can also transfer all you Resources to your ship with RB when in reach.

Sorry if this was already mentioned before.
So, I keep seeing people complaining about a lack of minimap and getting lost in the cities. If you are lost, select a quest, go into scan mode and click on the objective icon. Little arrows will appear on the floor, showing you where to go.

PC tip. If your fucking game opens in a tiny sub 1080p window you are fucked. But you can go to Documents>My Games> Starfield and edit the StarfieldPrefs.ini file. Just don't try to be fancy and change an graphics settings in game or it will revert back to a tiny window because Bethesda are shit devs.

This is more of a general tip now that I’m playing the game. For those of you who enjoy hard video games, the ‘very hard’ option is actually balanced really, really good this time around. Enemies will flank quite a bit(not sure if this is the same in lower difficulties), you have to be smarter about positioning, and your guns will do an appropriate amount of damage but so will theirs.
So be sure to not play very hard like you’re a Spartan from Halo, but instead play it like you’re a marine from Gears. Take cover, peek corners, use grenades, flank when necessary, etc. Also there is a Doom-style animation for vaulting and Doom-style slomo when changing guns. You will end up having a very fun and tense experience rather than blasting and yawning through normal mode.
iD software must have helped them with this, because the combat finally feels way too good for Bethesda’s usual work. I hope they treat the combat designers from iD like how Japanese companies treats platinum games. Have the experts come in, either help or consult with the combat, and then keep developing the rest of your game.

2. EMP ship weapons (the ones that show “electromagnetic damage”) have short range but they’re REALLY good at rapidly disabling enemy engines and other systems. Extremely useful if you want to steal a ship, or just cripple them and render them defenseless before blowing them up.

Crossover tip from No Man's Sky: use the photo mode as a surveying drone. Doesn't go up that high, but it can help if you look for something (the coast for example) or decide which way to explore

Just posted this in the OT too.
When using the laser cutter, use BOTH LT and RT together to make the laser stronger, helps mine faster but drains battery quicker.

Didn't see a mod thread, but if on PC, the StarUI mod is pretty solid. I like how it displays the information and you can also add/remove fields. And it has a column called Stack that sums up the total weight of an item. Great for quick inventory reviews. How Bethesda doesn't have this baffles me.
If you hold the aim button it charges the cutter. You will see the triangle shrink. When it is fully charged it breaks resources with just a pulse. Essentially hold in aim and run around breaking ore fast.

Abandoned research towers have computers at the top that will provide you with planet survey data. Sometimes they will provide up to all of the data, meaning you don’t have to grind scans.

Loremasters, good news, you will be randomly quizzed with a multiple-choice test to see if you're paying attention to those museum/history lessons and info people are telling you regarding the past.
It is a random event, so consider it a pop quiz.

Putting the item in the favorites menu.
Saw this mentioned about lockpicking and I thought it would help everyone here:
Look at this picture I found online:
Notice that the circles have colors. Blue and Gray. Depending on which pick you select, it will highlight the corresponding circles to show that it may apply to them. A gray color means that the pick doesn't work with that specific circle. Therefore, you don't have to waste time wondering if it will work with the gray circles. If all circles are gray, you can skip that pick entirely.
Be careful though for all blues, because that means it can apply to multiple. So you should focus on the ones that have more gray than blue. Having only one blue circle means that's the first one you should focus on figuring out.
But the colours only shows after getting the skill for them, right?

I actually didn't consider this because I started out with lockpicking as a primary. Is this truly the case if you have 0 skill points in lockpicking? Does it appear as all gray or all blue?

Google the "Mantris" quest line and complete the freestar collective ranges storyline to get them.

1. Mantis Quest - Any time you're in any random or scripted dungeon fighting Spacers, they will randomly drop "Secret Outpost!" notes, read it to put the quest in your quest log. Finishing this quest grants you a very good ship that can last you through majority of the game.
2. Finish the Freestar Rangers faction questline. Finishing it will also give you a pretty good star-fighter ship.
3. Follow the main story until you've done a story quest for Walter Stroud (it's main story mission 6 iirc). After beating this, talk to him again and he will give you a side quest called "Overdesigned". You make some decisions in this quest that determine if you get a smaller star-ship as a reward or a bigger freighter class.
But, the reward is free.
There may be more, but these are 3 free ships I've encountered.

Rank up your perks. Perks have rankings that you have to earn through challenges. As you progress you can unlock more powerful perks by ranking them up. Simply put, don’t spend your skill points unwisely without researching each perk.
Aluminum, Copper and Iron are materials you need an abundance of for outposts and mods.
Make sure your first outposts are set up in an area of no less than 3 elements to harvest.

Couple of things I learned while setting up an xp/credit farm. Use the big storage containers, 4 towers of them right to the building height limit holds enough iron/alu to make about 1000x99 adaptive frames. That's 99 x 1.1 xp if you sleep. Now this shit takes a bit to fill so instead of having to sleep like 5+ 24 hour cycles on a planet with a UT multiplier of 4, I fly to venus in sol system land and sleep for 12 hours in my ship because venus has a UT multiplier of 100 (1 hour sleep here equals 100 UT hours). Fly back to my farm (my current is on fermi) and start making frames.
Now selling these things is a pain in the ass, i go to the uc store on new atlantis buy all their guns then sell my frames to get back my cash and their 10k, rest 24 hours on their chair and repeat until im out of frames. Then I can sell the guns to other shops because most places u can sell resources to only have 3-5k credits where the guns can be sold vendors who normally have 11-14k. I normally put the guns in the ships cargo and sell them off as i'm going about other things.
Now for a warning, i've been trying to setup a massive multi planet production line and have about 10 planets with multiple outposts producing things and/or shipping rare resources to outposts with the common crap to make said parts. It's taken a while because the UI is utter horse shit and makes me wish controllers would just go die in a fire so the UI could have been designed around mouse. The net result from this is I'm about to just go to ng+4 because this the game seems to have gotten more unstable the bigger my production empire gets, loading has gone from 1 or 2 seconds to maybe 6-7 and i'm hitting about a 20% crash/lock up rate now when going to cities.
